Plett Holiday - Jan 2006

2006 was a year of holidays.

Our first holiday was in January 2006, when I took the two kids on an aeroplane down to Plett to spend time with my Mum. Jordan was only six weeks old and Brendan was 4. The holiday did not start well. Bad weather meant we could not land in George, so they flew us to Cape Town, back to George and finally back to Jhb. After ten hours in the plane, we were back where we started and had to try all over again the next day. Not a great experience when you are flying alone with two small kids. The rest of the holiday, however was really amazing. Mum used to keep Jordan for three hours every morning - in between breast feeds - and Brendan and I used to go to the beach. It was just what Brendan and I needed. We built castles, played games, swam, walked and talked. Some really really special days after six weeks of chaos after Jordan was born. Brett and Natalia were also at Plett in January. Brett was really great with Brendan and spent lots of time playing with him and taking him out on his board.
